#14 January 23, 2002. Punta Arenas, Chile.
Hello
Websters, The clouds lifted, our spirits soared and
the plane took off. And that was all that was needed
to get us to the fair city of Punta Arenas, Chile.
Even in our air weary state we were able to find an
all night restaurant (Thanks Neil) where we gorged
ourselves on the fine seafood this region is known
for. With much vino and cervaza we toasted our
success and good luck with the weather. It was noted
that Shackleton spent a year and a half on the ice,
so we indeed were blessed.
As
the team's thoughts and energies turn homeward, we
say our goodbyes and reflect on our shared
experiences. Soon we all will be back to our regular
lives but we will remember the cold stark beauty of
the last continent and the warmth of camaraderie
forged in a group effort to attain one of the truly
remote places on earth. And we will smile.
Signing
off for Team Patience and Persistence this is Vern
Tejas thanking you for following our progress and
sharing our adventure.
Live
Adventurously, Vern Tejas
